New Index *

Index/ Inmates

These
pages compare reported crimes and imprisonment rates for every 100,000
people for each year in the 50 United States and rank the states by
their crime and imprisonment rates.

In
order to compare crime to punishment we created a new crime index* and
divided that index by the ratio of inmates to crimes in each state, as
reported to theBureau of Justice
Statistics.We
then ranked each State for each category, with the lowest number going
to the highest rate.In
an important new way, this table links crime to punishment
within and between the States.

*The
traditional crime index is made up of the total crimes committed in
each State.The
problem with the old index is that it gives equal weight to every
crime committed; and far more property crimes are reported than violent
crimes.Since
violent criminals make up about half the prison populationand
about ten times more property crimes are reported than violent crimes, for
the new index* we divided the number of property crimes by ten and
added to that the number of violent crimes to make up the new index*.

Since
we developed the tables:
"Rate Per 100,000 and Rank by State of Crime and Imprisonment by US
States 1978 - 2012",
we are interested in hearing how others use the table. Email: host@disastercenter.com
